ATM 8in Mirror Specs



Hello, all: Just curious what some of you think of the specs for this mirror are what would be called "acceptable."  Being somewhat a newbie, I'm assuming from what I've read that this would be a better mirror for planetary use.  Thanks for your time and for contributing to The List.  John
